The World’s Largest Medical Library

Are you looking for an authoritative source of medical information and news? The U.S. National Library of Medicine in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health publishes a free online medical library. The site is divided into categories “especially for:”

• The Public
• Health Care Professionals
• Researchers
• Librarians
• Publishers

But, remember, your local librarian and your friends and family members who are not health professionals can only direct you to health information sources and diagnose health problems. As is the disclaimer of other resources, consult your physician for a professional diagnosis.
